Innovative video blogs in Montreal

By Heri Oct 16th 2007 in Design

If you are interested in videos and its usages for the web, I stumbled into 2 new shows, both bilingual, and done by local video bloggers.

The first one is done dy Marie-Claude Beaucage and Veronique Boisjoly and is titled “dans ton salon”. They come into a musician’s living room, have an interview, and get a private “show”. The production quality is very good, but this is not really what struck me. The host and the interviewee are comfortable with the camera and everything seems spontaneously deliciousss

The second video blog is the one setup for the Festival du Nouveau Cinema. Mélanie, Mathieu and Annie are doing daily video reports about movies and panels programmed for the day. They also have a daily live video feed, done via ustream.tv.

Like bloggers, these video bloggers show a great deal of authenticity, give out their opinions, and don’t try at all to be perfect. Exactly how blogs are vs the press.I find that both shows are a great use of technology, one that could only be possible thanks to the Internet. It makes me wonder if this isn’t the real future of blogging, the one that would make blogging popular here in Quebec and in Canada.

    The real future of blogging? I’m not the one who should say, but all I can tell is that it’s really enjoyable for us to do ;)
